Don’t hold your arms stiff and tight against your sides. As you walk through Charles Arnoldi’s exhibition of new work, "Rock, Paper, Scissors," let yourself move freely. Let yourself feel the movement. You are a three-dimensional body in space. Yes, your eyes will soak up the lines, the intricate patterning overlap of Arnoldi’s latest explorations of Stick Paintings. You will see the rich patinas of copper and iron paint on examples of new Chainsaw pieces. And you will search for the ways that lines, cracks, texture and shadows interact on his puzzle-like stacked sculptural forms. But Arnoldi’s medium is more than visual, more than paint or metal, than sticks, wood, or foam. Arnoldi works with space. And more properly – with movement through space.
